25CE101: Fundamentals of Programming

w. e. f. Academic Year: 2025-26
Semester: 1
Category of the Course: Engineering Science
Prerequisite: Zeal to learn the subject
Rationale: The course introduces core programming concepts using C, a foundational
language with strong system-level capabilities. It develops logical thinking,
problem-solving, and coding skills essential for advanced topics like data
structures and operating systems. C’s industry relevance and emphasis on
efficient coding practices make it ideal for engineering students.
